★★★★★ · An essay by Andrew Rooney, aka Andy Rooney · aKoz · 2016-12-30
An anti-war essay by Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes fame. This is from 1971 when he was 52 years old. He was a veteran of WWII when he wrote for Stars and Stripes. He appears in the beginning of the film and the remainder is his voice over stock war footage from WWI through the Vietnam conflict. He presents his compelling argument against war in his trademark folksy logical style.
